Handmade Sundials & Armillary Spheres

For centuries, sundials have connected the heavens with earth. As they silently mark the earth’s rotations around the sun and the passing of time, a dial brings ageless beauty to any garden. Their gentle sculptural forms can transform the most ordinary garden into something spectacular. Reflecting light and colour, they create enticing vistas and magical secret arbours. They bring memories to life, with loving inscriptions or thoughtful words of inspiration. A garden with a sundial is a garden where every moment is treasured, forever.

At Border Sundials every sundial is handmade, engraved with your words and engineered to tell the time accurately wherever you are in the world. We create eye catching armillary spheres in brass and stainless steel, as well as horizontal dials of all sizes to mark your special occasions and for gifts that last a lifetime. We also create vertical sundials from enamel, brass, slate and almost any other material. If you want something extra large, or even completely different, we will also work to commission to realise your sundial vision.
